English 4W: Scientific Form and Literary Inquiry Syllabus & Class English 4W: Scientific Form and Literary Inquiry Syllabus & Class Policy Sheet, Spring 2014 Instructor: Jay Jin Email: [email protected] Classroom: Bunche 3143 Office Humanities A86 & Time: M W 10-11:50 am & Hours: M W 1-2 pm, and by appointment Required Texts Wallace Stevens, Harmonium (Course Reader) Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (Norton Critical 2nd Edition) Frank Herbert, Dune Philip K. Dick, Ubik Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale Bertolt Brecht, Life of Galileo Course Description English 4W focuses on developing critical reading and writing skills. By looking at a variety of literary genres (poetry, short stories, the novel, drama), we will practice strategies of close reading and devote serious attention to connecting our close readings with the process of constructing a compelling, well-supported argument. In other words, we will focus on the mantra that good reading leads to good writing. The theme of this course is “Scientific Form and Literary Inquiry” and we will be looking at various intersections between science and literature in both form and content (what C.P. Snow famously called “the two cultures”). The poetry unit will be used to get us accustomed thinking about form—how texts are written, structured, and organized are equally important in producing meaning. Many of the novels are works of “science fiction” or “speculative fiction” and present an obvious thematic relationship between science and literature. However, they also reveal interesting formal qualities and questions as well. For us as writers, and just as thinking human beings in general, this is important because it emphasizes the sometimes mundane point that how we present an argument is just as important as the argument itself. This is not just a matter of trying to be convincing or compelling—rhetoric and the medium of communication always informs and inflects how we interpret. Assignments & Grading Participation: 20% This means not only attendance and coming to class with the assigned texts for that day, but also coming to class prepared to ask questions and to engage with other students in discussion. Unexcused absences will obviously affect your participation grade negatively. Get to know your fellow classmates—there will be enough group activities throughout the quarter to do so. As a general policy I do not hand out my class notes, you will need to get them from another student. I am always happy to talk about class during office hours, however. 1 Weekly Assignments: 10% There will be weekly assignments beginning Week 1, and they will be varied throughout the quarter. A majority of them will be writing exercises and assignments regarding the secondary reading, though as formal paper deadlines near there will be thesis exercises, etc. There will also be in-class writing assignments, which will give you an opportunity to strengthen writing skills and to get peer feedback. These writing assignments will be graded based on completion, but you must complete all assignments to get passing credit. Missing just one will cause this portion of your grade to be a F. Missing more than one will cause this portion of your grade to be a 0. I reserve the right to give quizzes without warning if I feel that students are not reading the material. The best way to avoid this is to do the reading, and be prepared to contribute in class. Creative Writing Assignment: 10% For the poetry section, instead of writing a paper you will be writing your own poem modeled on a poem discussed in class. More details to follow. Paper 1: 20% Paper 2: 40% You will write 2 academic papers over the course of this quarter; the first paper is 4-5 pages. This paper will be due 5pm on the day, time stamped and handed into the English Main Office with both your name and my name on the front page to ensure that it will reach my mailbox. You may also choose to hand it in at the beginning of class that day. Late papers will be penalized by a 1/3 of a grade for every day, including weekends. Any paper turned in later than five days will get an automatic F. I do not look over drafts of papers before the deadline, although I am happy to look at introductory paragraphs. For the second paper, you will have the choice of either writing on a new work, or of revising an older paper. If you choose to revise an older paper, you will need to turn in a portfolio of the original paper, the revised copy, and a 2-page explication of what changes you made, and why you made them. The second paper, regardless of what option you choose, should be 6-7 pages in length. No papers prompts will be given, you need to run paper ideas by me during office hours. Grading Policy The first paper will be handed back with comments, but the grade will not be given on the paper. Instead, each paper will be given an arbitrary symbol. The purpose of this is to dissociate the immediate reception of comments from systematized grading, and therefore to dissociate (as much as possible in an institutional setting) the development of writing skills from a series of letters. I’d like you to focus on the comments and to come in and talk about the specifics about your papers. I will email out what grades correspond to what symbols a week or so after the paper is returned. Other Policies Office Hours You are all required to meet with me in office hours at least once in the first two weeks of the quarter. This will help me not only remember your names, but to get a better sense of how to organize the class as the quarter moves on. You are also required to meet with me to 2 discuss the topic of your formal papers. If you cannot make it to office hours, let me know and we can schedule an alternative time. Plagiarism Don’t plagiarize, just don’t do it, not even a little. Representing the ideas, thoughts, or works of someone else as your own is a serious offense. It undermines the university value of academic integrity and is simply poor scholarship. You can also go to www.studentgroups.ucla.edu/dos/students/integrity for reference. Any instances of plagiarism will receive a zero, and you will be reported to the Dean of Students for further investigation. This is an unpleasant process for everyone. Technology A good bulk of the reading in this class will be in the form of pdfs, uploaded to CCLE, so I will allow tablets, e-readers, and mini-tablets to be used in class. However, I highly recommend that you print out the readings regardless in order to take notes. This will be particularly helpful during the poetry unit. No laptops, obviously no phones, and no tablet keyboards. Sorry, you will still have to bring a notepad and a pen/pencil to take notes. Email The best way to get in touch with me is through email. I will do my best to respond within 24 hours, excluding weekends. If you send an email Friday evening, don’t expect a response until Monday. Also, please keep in mind that I won’t respond to emails about papers the day before a paper deadline. This is because I want you to be thinking about and working on your paper reasonably beforehand, as much as possible.

  • Otero-Autobiography
    Otero\Enemy 607 CHAPTER 14 POVERTY IS THE GREATEST VIOLENCE Mahatma Gandhi The Riot in the Miami Ghettos. The killing of Arthur McDuffy in Miami by local cops created tension in the ghettos of the Black community. To pacify the Black community, the State Attorney's office filed criminal charges against the police officers for the assassination of McDuffy. Circuit County Judge Leonord Nesbitt presided over the trial, and Hank Adorno and George Yoss were the acting prosecutors, hungry for publicity. They were a team of judicial clowns. The trial was granted a change of venue to Tampa, where Judge Nesbitt provided devious instructions to the state jury to acquit the police officers of the violation of excessive use of force. The acquittal caused another riot in Liberty City. Under heavy political pressure from the now well-organized Black communities in the United States and feeling embarrassed by the incident, the Federal Government filed charges against all the police officers for violation of civil rights. During the preliminary proceedings the court received telephone calls, made apparently by police officers, issuing a warning that a bomb would detonate inside the courthouse. Of course, the legal proceedings were canceled because of the potential violence that the local trial might generate in the Black community as well as the police officers who were discontented with the criminal charges against their co-workers. Eventually, the circuit judge granted the petition filed by the defense for a change of venue to Atlanta, Georgia. Subsequently, the case continued to seek jurisdiction in Texas, where the police officers were acquitted.

    ABORIGINAL ISSUES: INDIANISM AND THE MODERNIST LITERARY FIELD By Elizabeth S. Barnett Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in English August, 2013 Nashville, TN Approved: Professor Vera Kutzinski Professor Mark Wollaeger Professor Allison Schachter Professor Ellen Levy For Monte and Bea ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I have been very fortunate in my teachers. Vera Kutzinski’s class was the first moment in graduate school that I felt I belonged. And she has, in the years since, only strengthened my commitment to this profession through her kindness and intellectual example. Thank you for five years of cakes, good talks, and poetry. One of my fondest hopes is that I have in some way internalized Mark Wollaeger’s editorial voice. He has shown me how to make my writing sharper and more relevant. Allison Schachter has inspired with her range and candor. My awe of Ellen Levy quickly segued into affection. I admire her way of looking, through which poetry and most everything seems more interesting than it did before. My deep thanks to Vanderbilt University and to the Department of English. I’ve received a wonderful education and the financial support to focus on it. Much of this is due to the hard work the Directors of Graduate Studies, Kathryn Schwarz and Dana Nelson, and the Department Chairs, Jay Clayton and Mark Schoenfield. I am also grateful to Professor Schoenfield for the opportunity to work with and learn from him on projects relating to Romantic print culture and to Professor Nelson for her guidance as my research interests veered into Native Studies.

  • Wallace Stevens: Parts of an Autobiography, by Anonymous
    Wallace Stevens: Parts of an Autobiography, by Anonymous Louis A. Renza Dartmouth College Certain passages in a handful of poems by Wallace Stevens flirt with personal self-reference. This is the case with “Yellow Afternoon” from Parts of a World, for example. Some critics take such moments to reveal his views on contemporary social issues such as World War II; others read the same passages back into Stevens’ biographically determinable circumstances. Yet the poems in question arguably inscribe their resistance to critical-biographical as well as social-historical templates, and in fact track his moving toward a theory of autobio- graphical writing. In those poems, one can say that he first seeks an aesthetic particularity, but then concedes their ethical import and regards himself as a representative self. However, late Stevens poems such as “World Without Peculiarity” and “Prologues to What Is Possible” edge toward the disappearance of self altogether. Paradoxically, that defines the point where they allow for an utterly “peculiar” mode of autobiographical writing. Keywords: Wallace Stevens / autobiography / “World Without Peculiarity” All general rules and precepts fail, because they proceed from the false assumption that men are constituted wholly, or almost wholly, alike. Whereas the truth is that the original difference between individuals in intellect and morality is immeasurable. — Arthur Schopenhauer, ETHICAL RE FL E CTIONS The consciousness of being had grown hourly more in distinct, and that of mere locality had, in great measure, usurped its position. The idea of entity was becoming merged in that of place. — Edgar Allan Poe, “The Colloquy of Monos and Una” “Yes, well, what can you know about anybody?” — Bob Dylan, Interview, 1991 2 Journal of Modern Literature Volume 31, Number 3 -1- n unusual moment occurs in Wallace Stevens’ poem “Yellow Af ter noon” when he apparently refers to some thing about his private life, albeit thinly Adisguised in the third person.

Wa 11 ace Stevens was a poet very much interested in metaphor. He discussed it in his essays and used it as a subject for some of his poems. However, the most important result of this interest is his poetry, in which metaphor is very effectively used. This thesis is an examination of the structural patterns in Stevens• use of metaphor. I investigate the relationships between the themes of poems and the metaphors, the relationships between tenors and vehicles of metaphors, and the relationships among the metaphors in individual poems. I acknowledge my indebtedness to Dr. Clinton C. Keeler for his helpful suggestions and guidance in the preparation of this thesis and to Dr. Samuel H.
